2. Good Samaritan stunned to find outrageous message mocking him on this £20 note

A bartender “suckered” by a brazen fake money scam has warned others to be vigilant against similar cons.

The 18-year-old had just finished a shift when he was approached by a young woman in Llandudno .

He recognised her as somebody he’d given £2 to for a bus fare just two weeks earlier.

An Instagram account championing the achievements of a seven-year-old gymnast has been cloned and a fake account set up using her pictures.

Macaya Alsop’s mum, Mandy ran the social media account, which had more than 3,000 followers, to share images of her daughter, who also models leotards.

But after noticing a copy of the original ‘gymnasticsmacky6’ account had been set up under the name ‘gymnasticsmacky7’ using 70 of her pictures and videos, Mandy reported it to Instagram who closed it down.
